Who played Debbie Fogle in Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Actor's career and notable projects explored 

Remember Debbie Fogle from Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7? Fogle was the awkward and incompetent cop/officer who partnered with Raymond Holt and was later sent to prison for tampering with evidence and for stealing cocaine and guns.

Debbie Fogle was portrayed by the popular actor and comedian Vanessa Bayer. She was among the SNL cast members who appeared in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

She was introduced in Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7, Episode 1, "Manhunter," where she partnered with Holt (who had been demoted to an uniformed officer) on an assassination attempt case.

Love her or hate her, her tips to Holt for wearing a hat on duty are hilarious. In fact, their banter is fun even though their personalities don't match at all. For instance, when Jake instructs them to follow a lead, Holt excitedly agrees, while Debbie tells him that it's too much work and responsibility. It's fun to watch Holt, the hyperactive cop, and Debbie, the lazy one, partner and eventually crack the case before Jake can.

However, they did get into a hijack situation and were eventually rescued by the team. It turns out that Jake tracked them down using Debbie's foot app tracker. The episode ends with Debbie getting to do her favorite duty, ie, picking up cones.

What happened to Debbie Fogle in Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

In Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7 Episode 4, The Jimmy Jab Games II, Charles asks her to take his spot. Even though she initially refuses, Charles persuades her, and she agrees. Turns out, it's a meat-throwing competition, and Debbie is allergic to turkey meat. The squad somehow manages to help Debbie out with an EPIPen. In the closing moments of the episode, we see that Debbie isn't the sweet and innocent cop that we think she is; she steals bricks of cocaine and two guns and leaves the precinct.

In Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7 Episode 5 "Debbie," chaos erupts inside the 99th precinct as bricks of cocaine go missing. Debbie tries to divert the attention, and even though she thinks that she's perfect with it, the squad understands that it was her. She's caught when Hitchcock listens to her talking to her buyer in the washroom. When Debbie is held accountable for the stolen items, the squad discovers that she might be related to a crime boss named Nucci, but she refuses to testify.

While they try to set a trap for Nucci, Jake and Rosa go undercover, and as they enter Debbie's room, they find her high on coke. Rosa's cover is blown, and surprisingly, Debbie brings her down and ties her. Debbie is still high, and she takes Jake (whom she clearly has some feelings for) and Rosa to an Airbnb where the deal is about to happen.

She calls her mother to show the mansion, and she disowns Debbie. Clearly, Debbie is often overlooked as an ignored sibling. When Jake tries to trick her, she brings him down and ties him up. Rosa stands up for Debbie as her mother disowns her, and this move deeply affects Debbie.

When Nucci arrives for the handover, Debbie has changed sides, and she agrees to take down Nucci. When Nucci holds her hostage, she slams him with her elbow, which leaves Amy impressed.
